( the insane king ) ( intrepid meeting )

[lynx'']

Could there possibly be a worse time to hold a meeting? With my mother, two sisters and my first child dead - was there really any hope left? Grey eyelids closed over my black opticals as i exhaled deeply in an attmept to keep myself calm. Audits flinched at every tiny sound as i thought of the deseased legends. My mother - Laktia. A strong willed and powerful mare. She had been the only one - so far to capture my fathers untamed heart. How she did it i never knew, but somehow she tamed him. He graceful arabian frame was cast into my pictures - her sleek red coat shone with the sun, her wide eyes held such darkness. My twin sister - proberly the one thing i loved the most - Emira. Her chestnut sabino coat, her kind, but scared eyes...she had always been the weaker one, but right from birth i had cared for her - even put my life at risk many times to save her - when she fell in love with snyper for the first time and went off to Black Lake. I had gone after her and set us both in the hungry vision of Riku. The time her and Shadrik had fallen out - when i dangerously put myself between them to stop her being hurt. My younger sister - Lilith, i had never really had much to do with but never the less i still knew about her secretive dark powers. How proud mother and father had been when she was born. Phoenix. Even now her name brought tears to my eyes. We had been through so much together and i had wanted to put it right, but now it was to late, she was with her dear mother - my love.

Black pools shot open and a loud grunt escaped my kissers - it later turned into a majestic roar as my anger built more inside my veins. Tipping back onto my hind legs, my forelegs extended into the thick foggy air and striked out at a nearby tree - the lowest branch snapping with ease under my powerful hooves and falling to the floor. I allowed my body to ease forward, and as my fore feet hit the ground my neck extended and jaw opened wide as my teeth collided with the same tree as before - pain shot through my jaw but i didn't stop clenching the bark until it fell from the tree, flaking in my mouth and over the earth. I bakced away and kicked out once more - anger turning into furious and dangerous behaviour. I spat out the bark, blood coming out with it onto the floor. I gave another mighty bellow - this time calling out to all of my mares and warriors. I wanted revenge on mother Nature - revenge on those who cursed my beloveds' A heavy sweat had formed on my silver body - making my pelt turn a darker shade of grey. My darker patches showed more clearly on my carcass now. Forlock spilled over my face, it almost touched my muzzle now. Mane poured out, touching my shoulders and my light tail slashed on my sides. My stance was not still - i continued to pace and paw at the ground. It was time for a meeting - i needed all my mares around me. They neeed to meet the new offspring but i also wanted plans - plans to brutally murder those who i currently disliked - now nothing would stop me.

I stepped away from my colt as he ducked under me to nurse, my stifle catching him on the poll. My ears flipped backwards, a snort dropping out of my narels. I only shook my head at him and then stared off in the direction of the roar at a slow lope, keeping out of the trees after my most recent experience with how easy it was to lose things in them. My neck kept craning back so I could see if the silver figure of my spawn was fallowing close behind, but at one point, he had slowed to a tottering trot. I slowed and dropped my head as I came to a complete stop, waiting for the little man to catch up before continuing on in Intrepid's direction.

Havoc

Vulgar cursed spilled through my lips in hushed whisperes as my knee made me slow to a walk. I glanced up as my mother stopped completely, waiting for me. I gritted my teeth together, restricting the flow of curses and picked up the pace into a full out run, blowing past her and taking the lead towards my Father, but I didn't hold the lead long. My mother came alongside me in a matter of seconds at a medium paced lope. I turned my green eyes on her and then at the silver blob that kept getting bigger with each step I took until the blob finally had a shape and I was almost upon it.

I slide to an ungracefull stop as we arrived, swearing at the top of my voice as my front legs buckled and I tumbled over myself, landing on the ground in a heap of legs. I could hear my mother chuckling lightly as she helped me back to my feet. I shot her a glare and stepped away from her, my haunches pointing at her, ignoring her and my father altogether.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!



Take A Picture! It Will Last Longer!

I moved through the paths of Hollow Woods while my eardrums listen to the sound of the rushing water that flowed through the land. I was now heal from my battle wounds from Trevor, but from the battle I was now blind on my right side as my eye already disconnected itself from my skull. I was use to using my other senses, like hearing and smell to cover up for my sight. But then I heard a call. I lifted my painted cerebrum high, sentinels lifted forward in alert while I listen more. It was a call from Intrepid. His sound waves filled with angry and rage as it sent a shiver up my spine. I knew something was wrong with him, but what it was I knew I would never find out. I felt my painted bodice tense while my painted limbs began to carry my painted carcass towards the his voice. I felt like a deer was I quickly moved through the maze of large timbers, jumping over the fallen logs that laid in my path. It seem like the farther I went, the faster I got as I moved across the land like the deadly reaper was chasing me, trying to kill me with his deadly sickle.

It was shortly after I made it to my goal as I stepped out of the shadows while my lungs worked over time trying to fill back up with air. My left copper lantern glanced around while I notice Echo and her young foal and then there was Intrepid. I let my nares flares while I took in the scent of his blood as if I was some type of vampire. I notice the angry and rage that filled his black lanterns. Yes I looked the beast in the eye, but hell I couldn't help it. I was drawn to the danger that might follow my actions. I then looked back toward Echo while I nodded my cerebrum toward her while I spoke softly to her and her new born. Hello Echo and young fellow.

I then looked back towards Intrepid as he looked like a grizzly bear really to take down its prey or anything that step foot beside him. I then began to grind my teeth slightly while I moved toward him slowly. I once more looked him in his black lanterns, while my lantern was calm, but yet, they flashed with danger. I slowly worked my way towards his left side, now he was on my right side, my blind spot. I took my actions slow near him. I dont get me wrong, I wasnt afraid of him, but I didnt want to do anything to angry him anymore than I had too. I trusted Intrepid and I knew he was angry with something or someone. He knew all what he had to do was give me a name and I would go out and fight them to my death if need be. I arched my boa while I nuzzle his strong chest softly as his sweat sticked upon my painted mug. I then began to speak towards him. Is there something I could do? Anyway I could help? My voice was soft in almost a whisper tone towards him. I kind of made myself sick in a way knowing this, that he was the only one that had this kind power over me, like he had me in his own evil spell and there wasn't nothing I could do about it. I then wonder was this a mistake I just did walking toward a angry beast and siding at his side? I would soon find out.

I Feel Dead!



Take A Picture! It Will Last Longer!

I was just entering the boarder of Hollow Woods when I heard the call of my father ring out towards the land. I picked up my pace while I moved at a slow jog. I worked my way toward the sound of his voice while I then stepped from the shadows, nares flares while I seen the small group standing there. It was my mother, Echo, her foal and my father. I looked at my mother while I gave her some what a odd look while I cocked my cerebrum, looking at her eye. Then I moved towards Echo side while I nudged her boa as if to say hello. I then looked down towards the new colt, my half brother. I then began to speak towards him. I'm Anna Lee. Im your half sister. Whats your name brother? I then looked up towards Echo while I began to speak towards her. Hello Echo. How are you doing? I then looked towards my father. He wasnt the same, something was wrong and now I was for the first time afraid of him. I didn't want to say nothing towards him nor did I want to go near him. I didnt want to have my own blood spilled over my painted frame, nor did I want to have me flesh ripped off my like the bark off that timber. I didn't want him to go into a fit toward me, never. I was somewhat understanding his bipolar mood swings as I was now getting them, but then again. I believe I would never understand his bipolar disorder, his was worst than mind. But I was his daughter and it was my place to speak towards him. Hello Father. I then waited for who might come in next while my copper lanterns scans around waiting for another soul to appear from the shadows.

The phantom-like figure stood amidst the spears of knee high grass. Thick banner hung lifeless behind her, and the fae’s mane cascaded down around her façade as the pink muzzle proceeded to nuzzle at the nutrient sproutings. All was quiet except for the mare’s occasional sneeze, the buzzing of insects, or the caw of one of the birds that circled over head. She was nothing of great importance at this time, so there was no need for her to be prancing about acting as such. Banshee was not an air-head; she was more calculative than that. So instead of wasting her energy acting like a love-struck filly, the equine had choose to spend time getting completely comfortable with her new home.

Dial quickly snapped upright and the cremello shied away from the spot she had been standing in at the sound of the angry roar. It had sounded quiet loud and near-by. So her automatic thinking was that someone was on the attack. But when her blue orbs glanced about and saw no one, a sort of stupid feeling enveloped her. Rolling her eyes the vixen exhaled noisily. “I bet I’d jump if a cricket farted.” The fae stated annoyed with herself. Then again she heard another equine’s voice. It was a call and it was Intrepid’s tone. Harks flickered forward towards the sound, and then a smug little smile curled the edges of her maw.

Picking up her feet, the crème tinted filly started moving towards the direction from whence the call had come from. A slow and lithe two beat gait carried the ghostly bodice along the topography. In the distance figures could be seen, and with each step they grew closer and closer. From what Banshee could see Droja was there, along with three other souls whom she did not know, and then there was Intrepid the mighty King himself. Once she was close enough, the fem slowed to a walk before stopping in line near the older mare and foal.

She could tell by looking that Intrepid was fuming for some reason. Which from the feeling that was drifting along the air it seemed that he would likely kill however spoke out of turn. So instead the deep pools of azure watched him from beneath the mass of tresses that fell along her face. If the other’s wished to speak to her, she would return the favor. but for right now she was the new kid on the block and severely outnumbered, so to remain observant for this moment seemed like a good idea.

INSANE LAUGHTER

Casual sigh escaped my lips as I walked just as casual to the herd meeting. I wasn’t really interested; I just wanted to be left alone. If it pissed Intrepid that I was late then that was his fault, not mine. It had been so long since I had a mission and my past missions were crap. Especially the last one, I just stood idly by while Echo talked to her parents.
This place was a waste of my time, I wanted a real mission not some pussy mission. I had thought that Intrepid was a solid rock that would give me missions, perhaps I was wrong. Maybe I would go to some other king to find a mission, a better king who wouldn’t be so emotionally attached to one equine. I yawned and stepped out from behind a bush, positioning myself next to Banshee. I missed my insane laugh I always use to do, intrepid drove it from me.

[Trill Stalker]

Toxic

A call roared threw the air and rang violently in my ears. My cranium shot up from where it had been grazing on the little heads of grass, it was a shame that the things didn't have nerves so that I couldn't torture them. My last meeting with Intrepid had gone quite well, we had even been friendly with one another. Which had at first been a shock to me because we had never truly gotten along before then. With a grunt I started to move over the land, I'd had enough time to explore Hollow Woods on my own that I knew where from the echoes of my king started and ended. Intrepids kingdom intreaged me, even though at night it was filled with darkness and shadows that almost seemed alive the day time brought everything around me into clarity and I saw beauty. My head bobbed up and down as I moved at a lopping pace, I did care for Intrepid but I didn't want to be the first one there. I knew no one other in this land and coming upon more then one at the meeting of my lord would allow me to feel on the same level of sorts as the others.

The equines that gathered before me surprised me because I had not run into any of these others while I had been here. There were three full grown mares, two of them had little foal stalkers next to them while another being stood slightly away from them. I could tell that the stag was just a warrior for Intrepid, the smell and feel of him was not even close to the power that the king held. "Your welcome to stick by me if you want, in the herd meeting." Intrepids deeply crazed vocals whispered seductively in my head. At our last being together he had assured me that I should be bold with him and the others. By the look of Intrepid he seemed to be in a mood, I wasn't sure of the cause but I would not let it come between us. I rose my tail slightly and shook my head to encourage myself, to give my ego a little boost. I stepped almost delicately past all the others that had gathered, my eyes were set only on Intrepid. My heart arched up a few paces as I neared, he had always stricken feelings inside of me and now was no different. When I was close enough so that our two bodies warmth and smell tangled with each other I tentatively reached out my muzzle and touched the kings neck, it was vibrating with life and it made me bold. I opened my mouth and bit down, only slightly though, it was more of a love bite then anything ells. To cool any pain I might have caused him I flicked out my tongue and laved at the flesh I had bitten. This was trust for me, I had never done anything like this in my life, Intrepid fed me with strength, he allowed me to be bold.

Word Count; 516. I hope I read Intrepids and Toxics last meating right and that this is what he wanted from her.

[``Vickerz]

I Even Fell

Cait hasn't been here since she joined and she could already tell that she might not be liked as well as the others were. She nodded in acknowledgment to everyone but she didn't nod at Intrepid, She just looked at him ready for anything he might say or do. She didn't want to upset anyone since she wasn't in that great of a mood and she just didn't want to snap at anyone, She would surely break their neck. Yes, You might say she is just talking some smack like mares always do when they are pretty pissed but she can actually do it, She has killed over three equines since she left her old life. She wasn't too happy about ripping anothers head off but she would gladly do it for Intrepid. He was quite the king, Dark, Twisted, And sexy too. Yes, She was a Treppy fan but so were the other mares within his herd. His biggest fan had to be his queen, Droja. She was a pretty mare, Her painted coat was bloodstained and the smell of blood lingered on her body, Making her smell just like she rolled around in blood. Cait inhaled and exhaled, She loved the smell of blood when it was in the air. She looked around before turning her attention back to Treppy, Everyone was here so far. She wondered why Treppy was so angry. She didn't want to ask him since he could kill her with a flick of his finger. She gulped and stood her ground, Ready for anything to happen in this meeting that is going to be such a big drama. She stole a quick glance at everyone as she stood next to a mare named Toxic. Echo, Havoc, Droja, Anna Lee, Banshee, Insane Laughter, and Toxic were all here with me, Waiting for Treppy to tell us what to do like the powerful king he is.

For That Stupid Love Song

[`* isis]

i had been casually sauntering about hollow woods, admiring the beauty that spring had brought to the darkness of the woods. Here and there, darkened by the inevitable blackness that descended even in broad daylight among the thick tree trunks, tiny little buds sprouted on the dark, rough branches. Here and there, between the tufts of dead, dried up yellow grass, bright green grass was growing, pushing up past the dead foliage to add a splash of brightness among monotone yellows and browns. soon, summertime would make everything green again.

for now, though, the main color painting the canvas of hollow woods was brown. everything was mud, which i didn't mind much. i loved mud puddles, and now, in spring, they were abundant, dotting the terrain, gaping pits of mud and water that beckoned to me with promise of lighthearted and childish play. pondering the allure of playing in mud puddles for only a moment, a snort issuing from flared nostrils as obsidian pinions launched my slender bodice into the very center of the mud pit. a spray of muddied water and muck was launched skyward, raining down upon my blackened midnight coat; even the splash of white that colored the ashen canvas of my rump was discolored with mud and muck.

i was totally caught up in my child's play; squealing and snorting, prancing in deep mud as if it were the most heavenly of all things. i was so absorbed in the sheer joy of splashing mud that i barely heard the scream of anger bellowing through the trunks until another shriek echoed it, a commanding bellow that ordered my summons. it was intrepid, i realized in time to answer it with my own cry. carefully extracting myself from the mud pit, i started in the direction of intrepid's enraged scream. i wondered why he sounded so angry, but decided not to dwell on it, instead pondering on whether or not i would be promoted in ranks. this tangent of thought strayed to our last meeting; he'd said his queen was Droja, so i made a mental note not to piss her off. this was most likely a herd meeting, so i braced myself for the many other mares i'd see there. i was undoubtedly the newest, and so, the least experienced and knowledgeable.

i sighed; it would be a daunting meeting, not that there hadn't been worse than meeting a few fellow herd mates. scolding myself for being such a sissy, i shook that thought from my mind and focused solely on running; the feeling of a crisp spring breeze trailing its cold fingers delicately through my streaming banners; the sensation of mud squelching under my hooves; the fresh scent of blossoming flowers; i drank in every sensation with relish. soon, the faint, broken sounds of the meeting reached my flickering auds, and i slowed my breakneck pace to a slow, flashy trot, and, with a flourish of my muddied obsidian tail, i sauntered into the clearing, already filled with pacing mares.

i spied intrepid at the far end of the tiny meadow, his pelt darkened a shade grayer with sweat. the rest of the horses i did not recognize, so i stood by myself near the fringes of the clearing, arching my neck gracefully as onyx orbs carefully observed the herd of equines that mulled about the clearing.

[lynx'']

I shifted from my place - impatient. Waiting for my mares to arrive was agnoy - i wanted to see them now. Jolting my left foreleg off the ground, i let it hover for a few seconds before slamming it back down into the dry earth- raising dust and making me snort. I tossed my head, but soon stayed stock still when i heard some movement in the near distance. I craned my neck to see further - and soon spotted Echo, and tottering along at her feet was Havoc - my new son. My audits twisted forwards and i stepped forward to meet them, giving Havoc a firm nip on his rump and turning to Echo, speaking with a deep fustrated voice. "Echo. Havoc. Good to see you." It strained me to speak such 'friendly' words when i was in a foul mood - but surely, Echo would pick up on my catious tone. I stared down at my son. A miniture version of myself - i was proud, so proud and happy - he would one day be a great king, i would make sure of it. "Havoc - has your mother been teaching you? When you can make a full day without milk - i'l take you out to the small arena we have here and begin your training." I told him with a stern voice, glancing up at Echo - wondering what she would think of him starting so young.

The tension soon grew as i looked away from the pair and ushered them to the side quickly. Before i knew it, the painted mare was upon me - her dazzling opticals sought out for mine - it clashed instantly and my facial features hardened imediatly. The last time we had spoken - we had argued. Muvch like the first time we met. The power she held in her eyes made me angry - i wouldn't back down. i glared at her, nostrils flaring. I didn't speak, and before long she had turned her attention to Echo and my son; i glared down at her - trying to think of something to say but nothing came - just the eerie silence that was between us - i knew it would be a while before we spoke to each other without a hint of spite in our voices. Her attention soon drifted back to me - she looked me in the eye again but my mood didn't soften at her seducing look. It stayed hard - emotionless and unreadable. She walked towards me - my skull raised to an almost uncomftable level and i arched my neck. The whites of my eyes appeared and as she touched me i jolted my head around in an extremely fast action, opening my jaw and snapping my fangs over in her direction, a low growl escaping my lips as i sidestepped a metre away from her. It was only then that i noticed a small figure drifting towards me - my vision blurred instantly and i staggered backwards - raising my skull further to the sky and lifting my forelegs off the ground by a few inches. Slammin them back down into the turf i lunged my neck froward a low hissing noise coming out of my partly open maw "Phoenix your dead!" Why was this? Phoenix and my daughter - Anna Lee looked totally different but in my eyes droja's princess looked wildly similar to my deceased daughter. I gasped - realising who i had just lunged at and quickly stumbled back, hitting droja with my rump. I gasped for air - inbetween my breaths - i heard her voice and i softened imediatly "anna Lee - sorry.." I whispered to her, walking forward to embrace her in apology.

A sweat had formed on my body - making me appar a darker shade of silver. I looked at echo and Havoc. Echo would show sympathy - i knew, but havoc...? My new born son seeing me attacking everything was sure to make him doutbful. A white flash came before my eyes and i started - tail kinking and nostrils flaring. I hadn't heard, scented or saw Banshees approch. None the less i was extremely happy to see her. Perhaps it was her ghost coat that attracted me to her but i stepepd forwar dand gave her a light nip on her cheek, taking in her scent before stepping back. "Hello Banshee - i beleive you have met Droja before.." I stopped and gave a glare to the mare before carrying on. "This is Echo - and our son, Havoc. Echo, havoc - Banshee." I stated. my tone was still rough and i sturggled to keep my words together - another fit seeping into my brain and waiting for something to trigger it off. I glanced back to Banshee - wondering if she could sense my mood. But i felt more relaxed now - still pissed, but relaxed. I knew i wouldn't attack another unless she provoked me to do so.

It didn't take long for my temper to rise up through the trees again. A loud screech came from my mouth and i darted forward with a low hiss - of course, it was Insane laughter. I never knew why i had accepted him in my land. I didn;t get along with other stallions much, especially ones that seemed to act so casual around important meetings. I darted in between the pair - separating him from banshee and stopping infront of him, ears pinned to my skull - eyes wide with anger. "What makes you think you hold such great power to waltz into my meeting and not show respect to me or the others." I bellowed. Snorting loudly down my nostrils before carrying on. "Your nothing but a litter picker in this herd Insane. Nothing at all. You are defeying the title you have. Now if you do not wish to obay my strict ruels - leave now" I hissed at him clacking my teeth close to his muzzle but not touching him. Smartly - i pivotted 'round on my hinds and took one step back, lifting my hoof in a warning to the brute - but not kicking out. I sent a look once moe at Banshee - could she tell my new and strong feelings yet? I snorted, i made my way back to where i stood before - slightly away from the others. But still watching over them all.

I set my glare on Droja for a while - eyeing her up and down - waiting for her to realise the pain she had caused me - waiting for her to realise she was partly at fault for my horrid behaviour. However - my attention was soon caught by a ebon figure moving up through the horses - wnding her way delicately as not to touch anyone and i found - to my shock that i actually grinned and took one small step forward, ears lifting a little as she stood beside me - like i had ordered her to in the previous talk we held. "toxic.." I murmered; not returning the friendly gesture, but nodding in approval for her bold behaviour. I watched the others for a minute before introducing her. "This is Toxic, i first met her when i was just a child. " I stopped there. They didn't need detale. I remembered how she had followed me into Hollow Woods after our fight and found me talking with the slave - my lover Einjeru. i had attacked out at her for coming close - but she held the secret to my once forbidden love with the deceased filly.

Cait seemed to appear out of nowhere - i felt a sudden rush of anger wash over me as she nodded to everyone apart from me and didn't speak. I stalked forward on long stilts and began to circle her - stopping when i reached her front. I opened my mouth to spit words at her - why hadn;t she shown more respect - where had she been and why hadn;t she been to see any of the others in the herd. but instead of angering myself - i swiftly turned around to Droja and motioned her down "sort it" I hissed at her, snapping my harks back and moving away from her - making sure my tail flicked elegantly onto her rump. My cranium snapped around to the right when i heard a call - apocalypse was on her way and i gave a sly smirk - i was glad she was coming and when her (slightly bigger than toxic) frame came into veiw i motioned her forward - spekaing out with slightly calmed words. "Come forward - Apocalypse. Meet the others." I demanded, flicking my tail and snorting - trying to control my anger.

One by one - i watched them, i stayed quiet for a few moments - giving the mares a few minutes to chat and introduce before i called for order; reversing my sleek arabian frame up onto a tall rock, where i would clearly be heard by everyone. "Answer me this - anna lee." I stared down at her - not deliberatly pciking on her, for i knew she would answer with reasonable words. "Do you think we are strong? Are we strong enbough to take over midnight acres?" The answer i was looking frowas of course 'no' although i knew some of these members would be very strong indeed - but i wanted proof of it. I wanted hollow woods to be feare by everyone, i wanted its residents to look and actlike the thirsty blood hunters they were born and raised to be. I glanced around the pack. Resting my eye on Banshee whilst i spoke my nexts words. "So- a reasonable offer is at hand. I want someone to step forward to challenge droja. for queen of Hollow woods." I stated without hesitation. I looked at my current queen and managed a sly smirk in her direction - she would no dout want to talk with me about this after the meeting - but i was king and what i said - well it went. I made sure i caught Echos gaze, i looked her sternly in the eye, to make sure she watched me and ever so slightly shook my head. a warnin that i did not want her to step up to the challenge. I didn't want her hurt. I didn't want anyone hurt but especially not her. no way.

e.c.ho

No sooner did I arrive did Droja and many others appear. I sent a nod to the queen in return to her own, it was only polite. The nudge at my neck brought my attention to Anna Lee. I returned her greeting with a nibble of my own to the young girls mane, tugging at a longer piece before dropping my muzzle away altogether, staring towards a point in the woods, ignoring the others as they arrived, I had never met them, so therefore I did feel the need to acknowledge them.

I just gave myself a massive shake as Intrepid spoke with our shared spawn. I had no objection to him teaching the spunky colt. After all, I wasn't a stallion and I couldn't teach him everything that his father could. I didn't return the greeting to him, there was nothing I could say besides 'hello' and that didn't feel like that right thing to say when I really wanted to cackle and glance at everybody with a pointed expression. The king didn't get mad over anything. One of us had to have done something. Something big.

My head swung around as I heard the hiss from the silver stallion. My gaze locked onto him and who he was throwing a fit over, and no, not a hissy fit. I looked down to my son to bump him back behind me with my forehead. I knew that Havoc loved his father, and that Intrepid would never purposely hurt his son, but it was still a precation so I didn't have to go all wolf-like on the silver stallion.

He finally came out of his fit and I stepped out of the way to let Havoc back to his Father if he wanted to, but I had to step infront of the silver colt when the king introduced Banshee and then jumped down Insane Laughters throat. I didn't let Havoc back past me as the rest of the preceedings happened, and I zoned for the better part of it until I felt Intrepid looking at me. I gazed back at him, cocking my head lightly as he shook his head. My ears tipped sideways as my son whispered what had just been issued and I suddenly realized what Intrepids little attempt at silent communication had been about.

[/blockquote]

Havoc

I gave a snort of protest as I felt the nip on my haunches, but soon quieted as I listened to the plans for my future. I bobbed my head in understanding to my Father's conditions. I had to wait a few more weeks and then I would be ready, I knew I would be, after all. I was his son. I had to be tough, it was in my blood.

I blinked as an older foal bounced right up to me, and introduced herself as Anna Lee and then continued to say she was my half sister and call me brother. Havoc. My names Havoc. I responded, clacking my ivories on the c in my name the second time I said it to empahzise the word. My short tail slapped at my haunches and I gazed around my sister, looking for more children my age. There were none.

Anna Lee had left while I was preoccupied in my searches so when I saw her again she was getting attacked by our Father. My ears sunk backwards almost instantly as I watched the happenings. I wasn't angry or scared or even ashamed of my father, I wanted to know what my sister had done to make him act the way he was towards her. I flexed my stiff knee as I paced forward a few steps, clacking my ivories again, a sudden sour mood having tooken over my normal mood of being michevious.

Even as my Mother pushed me behind her with her forehead I pushed back, but she won and I eventually receeded behind her with a scowl, and then the second time to pushed me back behind her I lashed out. I instantly regretted snapping at her with bared teeth and I dipped my head in apology, but she didn't seem to mind or notice that I had almost bitten her. My mood settled and I gazed up at my Father, taking in everything he was saying and then replaying it back to my Mother when she awoke from her daydreams. I gazed around at all the mares, waiting to see which one would step forward and take the challenge.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!



Take A Picture! It Will Last Longer!


I noticed as I worked my way slowly towards Intrepid the more tense and wild eye he got. It was then, after my touch upon his sliver flesh he backed away. I spinned around to get him out of my blind spot while I seen his yellow stain fangs coming at me like a rattle snake doing a false strike on its prey. I bared my fangs at him while I lunged forth toward him in a false lunge. I wasn't going to be bullied by him, not now, not never. He just had to deal with the fact that no one was going to run over me. I then notice as he side step away from me, his once black lanterns rolled inside of his skull leaving his lanterns white with hate towards me. I let out a slight smirk upon my painted mug, but then my smirk disappear while I watched him lunged forth towards our daughter. I lunged forth while I tryed to reach out and grab his spine with my fangs. I wanted to taste his blood in my mouth. But it was only a false alarm like both of our actions, so far. I stopped seeing him stop his actions toward Anna Lee and then moved back to my place, while I felt Intrepid backed into me while he rammed me in my chest. I let out a loud snort towards him, and then I started watched everyone come into the meeting.


I let my sentinels flickers while I watched each one made there way towards the meeting at the own paced. First came after me was the butter cream mare name Banshee. I thought back to our meeting that we had, remembering everything that happen. But something caught my eye. Indeed she was new to Hollow Woods and didn't know many. But she could have atleast show some damn manners. I let out a slight chuckle thinking about that thought. Wait I already told her she needed some manners. I let out a slight sigh while I nodded my cerebrum towards her as to say hello, but no words lurked out of my mouth. I had a feeling I should save my breath for the sliver baster that I called king. But that same sliver baster moved towards her as he reminded me of a high school boy lusting after a girl just trying to get into her pants.

The next to come was Insane Laughter. I never met this brute face to face. I just heard a few things about him and what I heard and seen, me and him isn't going to get along too while. Which that was fine by me, I liked fighting stallions better than mares, maybe he could be next. I let out a snort towards while I showed my yellow stain fangs towards hims slightly. I then began to speak towards him, my tones were harsh and cold. Get your damn head out of your ass before I remove it for you. Indeed I didn't get along with many, hell I couldn't even get along with myself. But I was trying hard to get along with the herd members. I believe that I was doing good and this damn brute asked for what was coming.

Then I notice Intrepid glare on my painted carcass, looking at me like some kind of useless trash. It then hit me why as his black lanterns looked at me up and down. I lower my cerebrum towards him while I just said one word.Really? I can't believe that he was blaming me for his first daughters death. How was I the one that caused it? I didn't hold him back from seeing her. I wasn't the one that didn't have the guts to fight Riku to let her come home with me when she was a new born. How could this baster blame me for that.

I could feel both my disorders kicking in all at once. It was like I could taste someones blood upon my taste buds while I began to foam at the corners of my mouth, wanting blood, for once wanting Intrepids blood for blaming me for this. I closed my lantern tightly while I tryed to control my temper towards him. It took everything I had. I would be talking to him about this matter after the meeting, that was for sure. Then I open my lantern while I seen someone else stepping out of the shadows while I lifted my cerebrum about watched the mare near Intrepid as she touched his brawny boa at the other side of him. I let out a slight snort towards her. I then heard her name Toxic was it now. Then I watched another mare step forth I haven't met this one either while I watched her with my copper lantern as she inhale taking in the scents that I gave off to the dark cure world. I let out a slight chuckle towards her. While I plained no mind to Intrepid wants or needs. It was then I notice another mare as she was caked in mud. I nodded my cerebrum towards her as to say hello.

Sentinels flickers while I listen to the sounds that was happening around my painted carcass, my copper lantern glances upon everyone while I still was in a middle of one of my blood thirsty mood swings, as it showed with the small amount of foam at my mouth. But I was controlling it and I was doing good. I then listen to Intrepid words towards our daughter Anna Lee. I looked towards her awaiting her words that she might speak. But then the next set of words caught my eardrums. I looked at Intrepid, then glanced around the herd. So many might have found that as rude, but I didn't, that was like adding a match to gasoline. Bit in a good way, hell I wanted to rush to Intrepid and hug him for speaking of that. I wanted to take my blood thirsty mood out on someone. I could feel the rush run through me. I lifted my cerebrum high. I was really to fight already while I took a step forward following Intrepids glare towards Banshee. So he wanted her to fight me. I let out a chuckle while I tryed to edge her own, in a joking tone. Yes come on darling and get a scar upon you. It will be good for you. I then glanced toward everyone while I spoke again, but this time my voice was firm, but not harsh. Any takers? Ill meet you at the battle grounds. I then shifted my weight in excitement. I was wanting to fight Rage after this meeting, but anyone would do.


[Couldn't stop typing -huggles- lynx you gave me alot of muse. Also if someone wants to fight. Im fine with it. Me and lynx already talked about it.]

Anna Lee
I Feel Dead!



Take A Picture! It Will Last Longer!

I could feel Echo as she nibbled at my yearling tassels that fell upon my painted boa. I then heard the words of my brother toward me as he stated his name to me. So it was Havoc while I nipped his boa playful, but begin careful at the same time. But that was shortly lived after I noticed my fathers sliver carcass toward me. I stood my ground frozen in fear, knowing that he could rip me to parts and not know he was doing it till after he was done. It was only shortly lived while I heard his words towards me. I then step forward towards him while I let out a slight smile towards him. I felt safe near him altho he was insane at times. I then looked up while I spoke towards him in my little girl voice. Its okay Daddy. I still love you. Always I will. It was the truth. I wasn't that close to my father as much as I would like. But I knew that he would be there for me and I loved him for that.

I then watched everyone while I stood in silents, I didn't have much to say. I notice the mare called Banshee step in while I let my copper lanterns drift towards her. She was pretty with her odd butter cream color flesh. She was the first horse I seen that held this color gene in her blood. I found it very striking. But there I stood next to Echo and Havoc while I watched my mother and father. I let out a slight chuckle as I watched the two fight like a marry couple. But I knew the only reason why they didn't get along was because they was too much alike.

It seem like hours that ticked by while the adults was very boring, im sure that I could find better things to do while I let out a slight sigh of boredom. But then I heard my name from someones mouth. Sentinels alert while I looked towards the voice. It was my father once more speaking towards me to get my thought. I let my limbs carry my painted yearling carcass to stand next to him. I then began to look at everyone softly with my copper lanterns. I then looked up to my father while I spoke towards him once more in my yearling girl voice, but I tryed to sound like a adult, making my tones come out funny. I don't know Daddy. The lights have out number us now. I believe everyone here could fight and its fun to fight more than one at a time. But the new borns couldn't and Banshee couldn't cause shes too pretty. I then turn to look at her while I flashed a slight smile toward her. I couldn't get enough of her butter cream tint with her blue eyes. I then looked back at my father. I then began to speak toward him once more in the same funny tone. I would have to say no daddy, not right now. I then heard my fathers statement about fighting while I moved back to side near Echo to get out of the way if something did happen, while I watched my mother step forward. I let out a slight snort while I watched her actions. I then let my copper lanterns look towards the other waiting for there actions.

It seemed when she had approached it had interrupted something going on between Intrepid and a young painted filly. He seemed violent and vicious towards her one second and then the next apologetic and sane. What a curious creature he was. This slightly intrigued the mare. But those thoughts were pushed out of her mind. When the silver brute stepped close to her. Banshee didn’t panic, didn’t shy away. As he reached for her cheek she turned it sideways almost extending it towards him like one would do for a kiss. When the stallion stepped back she looked at him with a dark little grin. Then her blue orbs flickered towards Droja. “Yes we’ve met.” Her smooth lyrics flowed from her maw. The crème colored mare nodded her head towards her queen returning the gesture of hello.

The fem had noticed that Intrepid seemed to favor her slightly. The way he light up when she approached the area. As well as the way he appeared to prance towards her to greet her. The vixen was flattered, but did not show it. She would not swoon over a stag, nor chase after one for her own pleasure. That was silly and immature. Then Insane Laughter showed up. The poor beast seemed to be picked on the worse out of the bunch. She almost felt sorry for him. But then again that’s usually the way things went. The Alpha stallion always saw a lower or lesser one as an inferior being, or a threat. So they were always stomped into their place. Then a few others appeared or approached from the wilderness. The harlot was able to catch their names here and there throughout the chatter. They were placed in the back of her mind for storage.

The mare had been paying some attention to what was going on but not the nitty gritty details. When the King began addressing his daughter, Anna Lee, her ears perked forward capturing the conversation. So the filly thought she was pretty? Another smirk curled her lips. “Why thank you.” But even though she did not like the thought of getting hurt, she would be willing to fight if the need arose. Then the talk shifted into another direction. Intrepid stated that he wanted someone to challenge Droja for the queen’s position. And his gaze was set upon her. There was no doubt in the fem’s mind what that meant. He wanted her to challenge the painted mare.

Thoughts ran through the white equine’s cranium. Droja was a worthy opponent, one that surely could rip her apart. But then a cocky attitude took over the Paso Fino’s thinkings as the queen stepped forth and spoke to her. Banshee took it as a mocking tone. “Scars are but tattoos of battles won my dear. And that’s how I’ll end this one as well.” Arching her neck and kinking her tail slightly, the ghostly figure stepped forward from her spot. “Fine. I challenge the Queen.” Still, even with the words spoken, the feminine saw Droja as a role model. That would probably be how she always saw her. But for now those thought would have to be dismissed from her mind, and she would have to look upon her as an enemy until the fight was over.

Toxic
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.

Jesus how many other mares did Intrepid have? They just seemed to keep on flowing in one right after the other. I flaired my nostrils, taking in all their scents so as to memorise there life's essence. Echo, Droja, Banshee, Cait, Apocalyse, One by one they were all greeted by the king. My own greeting left something to be desired, but I was not a queen a simple Damsel and that was all. "I want someone to step forward to challenge droja. for queen of Hollow woods." Intrepids deeply spoken words had me flinching my ears and eyeing Droja with my crystal green orbs. The mare was older then I by some years, but it was obvious that she had been in at least one battle before and had won. I ruminated for a second. Did I want to be queen? Was I ready for the responsibility that it entitled. I knew one thing, I wanted Intrepid in a carnal way, and he seemed to be the kind to respect dominance. I'd just decided my true decision when another mare opened her mouth and spoke before me Banshee. I narrowed my eyes at this one, the battle would be a fierce one between the two, it would have to be. Since Intrepid was virtually the prize. It was probably better off though since I'd never been taught when I was younger how to properly fight with another being. But then my eyes dragged back again to Intrepid and to where he stood. He'd never really done anything right by me except for allowing me to be in his band and yet I knew that I felt something deep inside of me attached to him. Could I let this chance sweep me by?

I shook my head almost unnoticeable. I couldn't, this challenge could change everything that was in my life right now. It could make my life into something so much more meaningful. And this was also something that Inrepid wanted of us. And then more doubts ran threw my head. Was I willing to give my life to be Intrepids queen? If I lost I knew that I would never be able to come back for if I did then the winner would surly mock me every chance she got and Intrepid could not even bear to look at my beautiful frame. I lowered my head in doubt, ever since I'd been young I had known Intrepid and I'd been threw a lot with him. Did anyone ells know about his love for a slave? It was something deeply forbidden so I highly doubted it. I knew things about The King that no one ells did. But I also knew that Intrepid was also hiding other things from me. I wanted to know what those things were. I wanted to be that someone who when times were deplorable Intrepid came to for strength. I closed my eyes and dragged in a breath that filled my lungs with life. This is for you. " A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle." I whispered as I stepped forwards, closer Droja and Banshee. "Not so quick there Banshee girl. If you want to challenge the queen then we must settle something between the two of us first." I stopped, only a few inches from this mare I spoke to. I raked her with a hot glare from my glowing eyes. "One will have to defeat the other for claims to enter battle with the present queen."
